TLDR
The Slammer worm spread so quickly that human response was ineffective, and why was it so effective and what new challenges do this new breed of worm pose?Abstract:
The Slammer worm spread so quickly that human response was ineffective. In January 2003, it packed a benign payload, but its disruptive capacity was surprising. Why was it so effective and what new challenges do this new breed of worm pose?.read more

Ensuring QoS During Bandwidth DDoS Attacks
TL;DR: This thesis argues that to meet the increasing threats, more advanced defenses should be put in place to address distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and that so far, BW-DDoS has employed relatively crude, inefficient, "brute force" mechanisms.
Anomaly Detection in Network Traffic and Automatic Filtering
TL;DR: The results show that SWorD accurately detects over 75% of all infected hosts within six seconds, making it an attractive solution for the worm detection problem.

Statistical Anomaly Detection on Real e-Mail Traffic
TL;DR: The method is a threshold method and, in the dataset, it identified various worm activities and the results are shown in order to stimulate new approaches and debates in Anomaly Intrusion Detection Techniques.

Stopping Internet Epidemics
Manuel Costa,Jon Crowcroft,Miguel Castro,Antony Rowstron,Lidong Zhou,Lintao Zhang,Paul Barham +6 more
TL;DR: The results show that Vigilante can contain fast spreading worms that exploit unknown vulnerabilities without false positives, and can be used to protect software as it exists today in binary form.

Inferring internet denial-of-service activity
TL;DR: This article presents a new technique, called “backscatter analysis,” that provides a conservative estimate of worldwide denial-of-service activity, and believes it is the first to provide quantitative estimates of Internet-wide denial- of- service activity.

How to Own the Internet in Your Spare Time
TL;DR: This work develops and evaluates several new, highly virulent possible techniques: hit-list scanning, permutation scanning, self-coordinating scanning, and use of Internet-sized hit-lists (which creates a flash worm).

Code-Red: a case study on the spread and victims of an internet worm
TL;DR: The experience of the Code-Red worm demonstrates that wide-spread vulnerabilities in Internet hosts can be exploited quickly and dramatically, and that techniques other than host patching are required to mitigate Internet worms.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Internet quarantine: requirements for containing self-propagating code
TL;DR: The design space of worm containment systems is described using three key parameters - reaction time, containment strategy and deployment scenario - and the lower bounds that any such system must exceed to be useful today are demonstrated.

Inferring Internet denial-of-service activity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a new technique, called backscatter analysis, that provides a conservative estimate of worldwide denial-of-service activity, and quantitatively assess the number, duration and focus of attacks, and qualitatively characterize their behavior.
